If your microphone seems too low or too loud in Windows 10, you can easily adjust the input level of the signal. Next, We show you how to increase or decrease the volume of your microphone.
How to change microphone volume using settings
Windows Settings is one of the quickest and least confusing ways to adjust microphone volume in Windows. 10.
To open it, click on the menu “Beginning”, then select the gear icon on the left. This will open “Setting”. You can also press Windows + i to open it.
To speed things up, additionally you can right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar in the notification area (system tray) and choose “Sound settings”. The Sound Settings window will appear..
In the window “Setting”, click on “System”.
Please select “Sound” in the sidebar.
Scroll down to the section “Entry” in the Sound window. Select the device you would like to configure using the drop-down list “Choose your input device”. After, click on “Device properties”.
In the properties of “Device” for the microphone, use the slider “Volume” to adjust the microphone input level.
The louder the volume, the louder the input signal will be when using the microphone. Despite this, higher is not always better; if the signal is too high, your voice will be distorted. Try to find the ideal volume where your voice (or other sound source) be high enough without having any distortion.
If you need help, Click the button “Start test” and speak into the microphone at a normal volume. By clicking on “Stop test”, you will see the highest percentage level recorded by the test program.
Next, you can adjust the volume slider accordingly. If you keep reaching the 100% speaking at a normal volume, then the Volume slider is too high. Reduce the volume and try again.
When i am satisfied, closing “Setting” and you're ready to go. If at any time you need to adjust it again, just open “Setting” and go back to Sound> Entry> Device properties.
How to change the microphone volume using the control panel
You can also adjust the microphone input volume through the classic control panel..
You can launch this tool from the speaker icon in the notification area of the taskbar, located in front of the Home button. First, right-click on the speaker icon and select “Sounds” in the menu that appears.
In the window “Sound” that opens, click on the tab “Recording”.
You will see a list of microphones installed on your system. Select the one you would like to adjust, then click the button “Properties (edit)”.
In the window “Properties (edit)” that appears, click on the tab “Levels”.
In the tab “Levels”, use the mic slider to adjust the mic input level. The higher the level, the stronger the signal from your microphone will be while in use. That means your voice will get louder. But too strong a signal will distort, so try to find the sweet spot where it is strong enough but not too strong to distort your voice.
Thereafter, click on “To accept”, then click on “To accept” again to close the window “Sound”. If you need to adjust the level again, revisit the microphone properties via the speaker icon on the taskbar. Good luck!
